As a NARP (non athletic regular person), a show choir T-shirt is the closest thing I own to a sports jersey. I thought it counted, but according to my basketball-obsessed sister, it's not nearly as cool as styling the real deal.
Determined to shed my bench-warming persona for good, I went straight to the pros. No, not from the NFL or WNBA, but the street style scene. Nearly every sport from tennis to golf and even soccer has gotten the -core treatment in recent years, so there's no shortage of jersey-clad celebrities at premieres and parties today. Celebrity stylist Hattie Doolittle tells me over email that the jersey trend rises from a "need for nostalgia." She elaborates, "It's the same as wearing a band tee—it can take you back in time."
